Overview


Not since Kliban has there been a cat book this edgy. Edgy as in Bosco, the demonic Siamese with the out-of-focus eyes, razor-sharp fangs, and his own idea of Feng Shui. Or the half-shaved freak named Mr. Fliegel, who looks like a cross between a poodle and a lion. Mr. Fliegel shrugs and says, "Chicks dig me." Or Kato, resplendent in his Three Musketeers outfit: "One for all, blah blah blah . . . now just get me out of this @#%&ing costume!" Or Clark, whose hobby is eating other cats' food. Tina, who somehow always just misses the litter box . . . sucker. And the guilty-looking Clarence, caught with a Barbie doll ...

Overview


Not since Kliban has there been a cat book this edgy. Edgy as in Bosco, the demonic Siamese with the out-of-focus eyes, razor-sharp fangs, and his own idea of Feng Shui. Or the half-shaved freak named Mr. Fliegel, who looks like a cross between a poodle and a lion. Mr. Fliegel shrugs and says, "Chicks dig me." Or Kato, resplendent in his Three Musketeers outfit: "One for all, blah blah blah . . . now just get me out of this @#%&ing costume!" Or Clark, whose hobby is eating other cats' food. Tina, who somehow always just misses the litter box . . . sucker. And the guilty-looking Clarence, caught with a Barbie doll in flagrante delicto. Clarence's defiant defense: "She was naked when I came in. . . ."

Just as Kliban got us to think about the cat as something far more interesting than an innocuous house pet, and Suzy Becker taught us that cats possess a Buddha-like wisdom (together Cat and All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat have more than 2.6 million copies in print), Jim Edgar reveals yet another facet of the ever-mesmerizing animal. Brooding, deranged, antisocial, these are kitties with attitude and borderline personality problems--ah, but what hilarious fun it is to read about them. All 244 photographed in terrifying full color in their most unflattering moments, with a quote plus vital stats: name, breed, age, and hobby. Get to know them. Then see if you can ever forget them.

    THE Funniest Cat book ever!

    Our daughter loaned us her copy of 'Bad Cat' and we laughed until the tears rolled. I will be purchasing 3 copies on Tuesday when we are in Boise. One will go to Calfornia and one to Minn. as Christmas gifts and one we will keep. We are cat lovers and have seen the expressions and poses many times. This compilation is great! Thank you.

    LOL 'til it hurts

    This book is hysterical. I'm owned by threee furry girls and their dog sister and this book totally reflects the many purrsonalities cats have. A definate must have/read for every cat lover with even a minute sense of humor. I'm buying several copies as Christmas gifts for my cat loving friends. I 'read' it in a bookstore with my friend and we were laughing so loudly that her husband had to come find us before we mortified him with our out of control laughing. Get it for yourself, get it for your cat loving friends, hey- it's even good for those dreaded dog lovers!!!

    The author captured cats' personalities so well. My own two cats could have been models for some of the pages. Cat lovers and haters alike will laugh their butts off.

    Love the book

    If you love cats this book is sure to make you laugh. Most of the pictures are very good and the conments are great. A few are so so that's why I didn't rate it outstanding.

    Re: not for children

    Why rate a book as disappointing just because it's not for kids? It's not in the children's section! You may have wonderful kids, but do they have a wonderful mother if you don't screen the reading material you give them?!?!

    Not a book for kids

    My friend got this book for my daughter. It's not approiate for children. I didn't see the book till after she bought it and today my daughter brought me to the attention of a few pages. I immediatly took the book away from her and will not give it back. There are words that my 8 year old should not know. I am just glad that her teacher did not get ahold of this book as I would have gotten into trouble for letting her take it to school. If I had known what this book contains she would not have gotten it.

    Funniest Cat Book Ever

    I can see why my friend couldn't get it wrapped for people picking it up to look at!

    Understand that this is a gift book, not a full-length and full-sized humor title. It has a couple of hundred pages, but they're the size of a 4 x 6 print. Each page offers a photograph headlined by a tongue-in-cheek caption. Beneath the photo you'll find the feline's name, age, and hobby. The photos range from silly to hilarious. The captions had me in stitches, but in some cases the cat's supposed 'hobby' was the funniest thing on the page. Looking for a cute gift for a cat lover who's got a good sense of humor? This could be just the ticket.

    A Wickedly Funny Look at 244 'BAD CATS'

    I picked up a review copy at BookExpo and spent an hour laughing out loud in the airport waiting area. I don't know where all these funny photos were obtained, but every one is priceless. Keep one at home for your guests and buy a few dozen for Christmas presents. At less than $10.00 it is a bargain!

    You'll laugh until you're sick

    One of the funniest books you'll come across in a long time. It's perfect for cat lovers, but also appropriate for those who don't. Be sure to read the pet names and descriptions at the bottom of the page - they're just as funny as the photos and captions. It's a great value, and makes a great gift. Meow!

    Hysterical - have Kleenex handy!

    As a cat person, I was naturally drawn to this book, but I have read and reread and laughed until I cried!!! I made the mistake of taking this book to work and have since had to buy three more copies for friends. If you like cats and have a wry sense of humor this is a great, fun read. Visit the accompanying website (can I say it without it being deleted? We'll see..) at www.mycathatesyou.com for even more great photos and captions.
